But when I set-up my third machine and sync, everything gets installed correctly (bookmarks, tabs, preferences, etc) except logins. I don't see any logins; however, if I manually browse to a website, enter my login, Firefox will ask if I want to save. If I click yes, then that login is saved, but none of my imported logins are.

Can someone help? I have over 150+ logins... manually adding them one-by-one is not an option.

Last week Adobe Flash stopped actuating/working with Firefox and there is no black box in the address bar or any place else that I see that asks me to activate it. I have it set as Always Activate on the Plug-Ins page but that isn't helping. I checked and have the most recent version. I had to go through several steps to activate it but it does work in Chrome. I run Win 7 and Firefox is my default browser. Please advise how I can get Flash to work again as it is hampering a lot of my activity on the web. Thank you.

Hello all. I work at a university in IT Support. I am trying to assist a customer with her issue of not being able to open PDFs in the online program that she needs in order to complete the submission. She was able to do this previously in Firefox but now cannot (she cannot do this in any browsers now).
She repeatedly gets the message: "The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the
Adobe Reader installed or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use
Adobe Reader.
For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing environment please
see http://www.adobe.com/go/pdf_forms_configure."
Is there anyone who knows about this problem who has any suggestions? She has the latest upgraded version of Adobe Pro 2017 so she is fine there.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I lost access to my two-factor authentication app and therefore could not get into my account. I have created a new account using a different email address but I would like to use the email address (which I still have access to) associated with that account. As long as the old account exists I cannot associate that email with my new account. I cannot find any way to contact Mozilla to ask them to delete the old account (and free up that email address). Will it just get deleted eventually if I don't log into it anymore? Is there someone I can contact to close that old account? Thanks

Very sluggish performance, scrolling or changing tabs etc. There are 7 "Firefox CP Content" processes running, each about 800 MB but I've seen them go to maybe 1.3 GB. I'm thinking that swapping that much memory takes a long time, so maybe if I force them to be no mor then 500 MB It might help.

Can't find a Preference for "cache size" anymore - why not
Content Process Limit is maxed out at 7.

It will go for a second or two, and then start over. It doesn't matter if it's across the internet or my home network. wget seems to work, and doesn't seem to have the same issues. I've tried multiple things. Restarting the browser, deleting the .mozilla direct, etc. To get it to stop, I also have to exit out of the browser completely. Thank you.

Should have been warned that Ver68 would screw up my life. After upgrading from Ver 65 to Ver 68, my profile is not being found by the new install. I do NOT desire "synching' with other devices, and it is a security risk to have to use an "account" to do this. Not to mention getting completely screwed if I cannot access the Web or lose the password.

What idiot thinks this stuff up? What committee of monkeys on keyboards allows it to be implemented?

Hello.
I have a problem logging in to my Firefox Sync account.
I've set up 2-step login before.
When logging in, a 6-digit code from the authentication application is
required. Unfortunately, there is still information that the code you
entered is incorrect.
I have changed the password, but the error with the code still appears.
Unfortunately, after changing the computer, I do not have a recovery key.
Is it possible to delete my account so that I can create it again?
I have already accepted the loss of data, but I care about the address
to be synchronized.
Greetings.

Sometimes I choose to use two or three different browsers simultanously, for a number of practical reasons.
But it's very difficult to know which browser one is actually using because the browser top bars have (almost) no distiction.

1: Start the firefox and work
2: Hibernate the laptop but do not close the firefox
3: After an hour or more, start the laptop and work in firefox.
4: After working for an hour, hibernate the laptop for overnight.
5: Repeat the above mentioned steps for a week.

Result: Bookmarks stop functioning. I can't either add or remove anything from the bookmark.
Just restarting firefox does not help. Only way to recover is rebooting the laptop.

There are many online media pages, like New York Times, the German SPIEGEL, FAZ (german newspaper faz.net, whatever), who require that I log in before I can read their articles. To log in means to pay for content.

This is ok. *I'm prepared to pay for journalism.*

But I'm afraid that all those websites collect every click on their website, build a database on what my interests are and sell the data as a surplus to whoever. They know my name from the payment and so there is not much sense in using a nickname for signing in.

I don't want news sites to get a clear picture who I am and what I am reading.

I can't avoid that they collect data about »me«, but maybe I can render the data useless. I'm looking for a firefox add-on, which does this:

1. After I log into a certain page
2. the addon clicks
3. in the background
4. randomly
5. on all the links on the website,
6. except for some I specified in advance (e.g. inclucing words like »buy now«).

Instead of special interest the database of the website only gets random data.

Does that exist? Otherwise, to whom should I address my whish?

And YES, I know that the whole internet depends on advertisement, and NO, I don't have a fb account and no whatsapp.

Also -- the ASK THIS button at the top does NOTHING -- I had to scroll down & discover that off-screen-below is the REAL "enter this question" button.

How do I link this new "community forum" -which I had to create a login for -- to my OLD account ? I want the My Questions which I have previously asked - its my how-to database! The signup page promised that if I had an account on the "old" system it would be linked.
